I was swapped from Disability Living Allowance onto Personal Independence Payment last month and I scored a total of 16 points, but I only get payments for Daily Living and not mobility, should I be getting both?

A. It sounds as though you scored less than 8 points on the Mobility part of the assessment and the rest of the points were for Daily Living. You need to score at least 8 points to be awarded Payment at the standard rate for each component and if you are scored 12 points or more for either component then you would be paid the enhanced rate.

If you are receiving £83.10 then that is enhanced rate daily living and you may only have scored 4 points on the mobility section.

You should have been given a points breakdown on your award letter.

You have up to a month to challenge the decision if you don’t agree with it, or you can submit a late challenge if there is a good reason for the delay.
